What Causes Pain In Leg After Walking For Long Hours?
Hi, if hemangioma on the left calf was shrink (surgery) a long time ago, but pain can occur after long walk, high wheels, changing weather, etc., can the bicycle with high resistance class be taken? I assume the pressure on calf might cause pain. Please advise.

Hello,
Pain in leg after walking for long hours may be indicative of vascular insufficiency, which may not be able to cope up with the raised oxygen demand of peripheral tissues after a prolonged walk. Other reasons, such as low hemoglobin, zinc, magnesium can also be considered after ruling out diabetes and atherosclerosis as primary suspect.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
